I went with the rave reviews here and decided to try this recipe as stated. The first time was for my birthday dinner but when the Mr. surprised the family with dinner out, I thought since someone else here commented that they left their overnight and they came out great, I'd be ok (even though I still worried). Boy they were NOT ok. Can you say Ceviche? That is what citrus juice does to seafood. It cooks it! They came out so tough and awful when he had them the next night. Weeks later, I thought I'd try again, but only gave it 30 minutes of marinated time. AGAIN! It came out tough and not so great, but the kids ate them. Sorry, this recipe is a fail for me.

Made these for a dinner party as an appetizer and everyone wanted more for the main dish.

Awesome grilled shrimp Ron! I followed the recipe exactly, marinating about 4 hours and got wonderful results. I skewered the shrimp on wooden skewers to grill them and the flavor was incredible. They had a wonderful light citrus and herb flavor with a little kick from the red pepper flakes. I highly recommend using the fresh herbs to get great results. This recipe is a definite keeper!

Very good, I used frozen shrimp and only marinated for 1 hour. I only had dried parsely on hand but that didn't make a big difference. I will make it again.

This is a great recipie, the shrimp was good and everyone in my family enjoyed it. I also fried half of the shrimp per my husbands request and they were exellent. and I used balsamic vinegar instead of red wine.

Great marinade! I cubed up some green and yellow squash, button mushrooms and red pepper, put it with the prawns in a bag then made kabobs! Save a little marinade to drizzle over the kabobs when they come off the grill!

My husband said it was the best shrimp marinade he ever had and I agree! We put our shrimp on the grill in tin foil and in 6 minutes it was perfect. My husband likes a little kick so next time I am going to put in a little more cayenne pepper. I plan on using this for some wonderful talapia I bought this week. Loved it! Little trick I learned for making a marinade is get a gallon ziploc bag and a flower vase then set the baggy in the vase and put your ingredients in that. Easy to mix and the bag doesn't keep tipping over!
